为什么值得读

…每个人都应该这么做。只要你接受了自己本来就不可能读懂所有内容，这本书就会变得巨好玩。综合来看，Pynchon 大概是我最喜欢的作家。不过我依然觉得从《Inherent Vice》、《The Crying of Lot 49》或《Vineland》入门是个好主意。
…everyone should do that. It’s an insanely fun book once you have accepted you are not supposed to get everything. Pynchon is probably my favourite author all things considered. Still I think starting with Inherent Vice, The Crying of Lot 49 or Vineland is probably a good idea.
…——弗洛伊德；《Capitalist Realism》——Mark Fisher；《Gateless Gate》（无门关）——无门？一部非常古老的中国神秘主义典籍，不知怎么的让我产生了极大的共鸣……；《Neuromancer》——William Gibson；《Snowcrash》——Neal Stephenson；《Inherent Vice》（目前正在读，超级享受！——太喜欢电影了以至于买了原著，但我觉得原著甚至比电影还要好看得多）——Thomas Pynchon
…- Freud Capitalist Realism - Mark Fisher Gateless Gate - Mu-men? Very old Chinese mystical text that somehow resonated w me considerably.. Neuromancer - William Gibson Snowcrash - Neal Stephenson Inherent Vice (currently reading and enjoying a lot! - loved the movie so much I got the book but I think I enjoy the book way more even) - Thomas Pynchon
这是部比较偏近期的 Pynchon 作品，不过《Inherent Vice》（背景设在计算机刚开始普及的早期年代）里的这段话把我逗乐了：> 就像最近常有的那样，Fritz 又回到了机房，死死盯着数据。他脸上带着那种 Doc 早就见识过的“看老子在不在乎”的表情……
This is a more modern Pynchon, but this paragraph from Inherent Vice (set in the very early days of computer adoption) made me laugh: > As usual these days, Fritz was back at the computer room, staring at data. He had that ask-me-if-I-give-a-shit look Doc had noted before…
《Inherent Vice》是 Pynchon 尝试写一部钱德勒式侦探小说的作品。IMO 是一次相当不错的尝试。
Inherent Vice was Pynchon's attempt to write a Chandler novel. It was a pretty good attempt, IMO.
很高兴听到你读得很享受。我当年在《Bleeding Edge》刚出的时候就读了，但感觉一般。它很有 Pynchon 的典型风格，但并没有像几年前的《Inherent Vice》那样让我着迷。话虽如此，他最顶级的长篇还得是《Gravity's Rainbow》、《Mason & Dixon》和《Against the Day》。那些才是真正的巨兽。不过付出多少心力，你就能收获多少东西。
Glad to hear you are enjoying. I read Bleeding Edge when it came out, but was underwhelmed. It is characteristically Pynchon, but did not enchant me in the same way as did Inherent Vice some years earlier. Still, his best novels have got to be Gravity's Rainbow, Mason & Dixon, and Against the Day. Those are the monsters. But you get out what you put in.
强烈反对。《Inherent Vice》极其搞笑。它就像一部更成功的《Vineland》（那本书本身就已经很不错了）。这两本都好得不行。《The Crying of Lot 49》也不错，但感觉写得有点仓促。当年写它就是为了搞点钱……
Deeply disagree. Inherent Vice is extremely funny. It’s like a more successful Vineland, itself a good book. They are extremely good. The Crying of Lot 49 is also good but it feels somewhat rushed. It was written to get some money…
